Why RED MILLS
Overview
Why Connolly’s RED MILLS
For more than 100 years Connolly’s RED MILLS have had one ambition: to put the animal at the centre of everything they do.
That means from the moment the raw materials arrive at Goresbridge to the moment the bag is sealed, the checks on your feed are ours: our agronomists, our nutritionists, our mill teams, our laboratory technicians. Holding all of it in our own hands is how we can promise the same standard in every bag .
Nutritional expertise
A wealth of knowledge in animal nutrition, in-house
Our highly qualified and experienced in-house nutritional and technical teams provide the most tailored advisory services and guidance based on the unique needs of your pet, helping you make the best nutritional choices. Our expert advice and guidance is based on decades of combined experience and on-going engagement within the animal nutrition and well-being industry. We are passionate about helping you care for your animal to drive the most desirable state of health, well-being and performance.
Our team leads our research, keeps us close to the latest science, and answers the questions that come in from you. Your feedback is what helps drives the next recipe, the next range and the next improvement.
Quality and safety
Every check that matters is one we make ourselves
From the moment the raw materials arrive at Goresbridge to the moment the bag is sealed, the checks on your feed are ours: our agronomists, our mill teams, our laboratory.
Holding all of it in our own hands is how we can promise the same standard to a yard in Dubai and a farm in Tipperary, batch after batch.
Our own mills
Made in Kilkenny, start to finish
Every RED MILLS feed, supplement, treat and care product is manufactured at one of our own two licensed facilities in County Kilkenny, and shipped from there to stockists and stores worldwide, and on to yards, farms and homes.
Centralising it that way is a deliberate choice. It is what keeps us self-sufficient through difficult seasons and difficult markets, and it means there is no point in the process where we have to take somebody else’s word for it.
Sustainability
Doing right by the place we mill in
Our commitment to a more sustainable future runs through our own operations and through our relationships with the farmers and suppliers we depend on: recyclable packaging, responsibly sourced raw materials, a mill running on renewable electricity and a wetlands reserve on our own doorstep.
